Joe Vilches 1db7a3ff61 Clean up certain style choices on website's example documentation (#1616)
Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/yoga/pull/1616

This is based on a few comments earlier in the stack and my own discretion on what should change. But I went through all of the examples and changed the following:

* Only add code tick marks in a few cases where it would make sense. Things like `start` and `end`, `undefined` as a value, etc. There ends up not being that many after this. Previously, any property or value was tick marked even if it was more of a concept than actual code. **I replaced those cases with a link to their respective documentation as I feel like this keeps the indication that this is a keyword without labeling it as code**.
* Any reference to "element" was changed to "node"
* Capitalize words that follow a colon
* Run code examples through prettier for consistent style

# Flex Direction
Flex direction controls the direction in which children of a node are laid out.
This is also referred to as the main axis. The main axis is the direction in
which children are laid out. The cross axis is the axis perpendicular to the
main axis, or the axis which wrapping lines are laid out in.
**Column (default)**: Align children from top to bottom. If [wrapping](/docs/styling/flex-wrap) is enabled then
the next line will start to the left first item on the top of the container.
**Row**: Align children from left to right. If [wrapping](/docs/styling/flex-wrap) is enabled then
the next line will start under the first item on the left of the container.
**Row reverse**: Align children from right to left. If [wrapping](/docs/styling/flex-wrap) is enabled then
the next line will start under the first item on the right of the container.
**Column reverse**: Align children from bottom to top. If [wrapping](/docs/styling/flex-wrap) is enabled then
the next line will start to the left first item on the bottom of the container.
